Chronautical is built around the idea of moving forward and backwards through time to solve a narrative mystery, talking and interacting with people to see how they change in time due to your actions. Fall in love with the mysterious stranger who saved your life and discover the secrets of time travel by piecing together the Great Machine, previously known only in myths. Visit the different locations and time periods in whatever order you decide to create unique experiences from player to player.

In the Prologue you play as Alistair, an enigmatic man desperately trying to save a planet from destruction, and ultimately save the whole universe. When all else fails, he resolves to pass on his research to someone he can trust. But retrieving his research will be no easy feat.
